76-22 85th Drive, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 76-22 85th Drive in Woodhaven, owned by Mitchell Slavuter, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most recently, in May 2024, the building was the subject of multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions with pests and problems with an electric/gas range; however, after inspection, no violations were issued and the complaints were closed.

In 2021, the first-floor apartment received two violations related to lead-based paint hazards, specifically concerning peeling paint on the east wall of the private hallway, one classified as Class A and the other as Class C, though these violations were also subsequently closed. The Department of Buildings has recorded three significant complaints related to the property between 2020 and 2023 regarding potential unauthorized uses of the building. In January 2020, there was an investigation into illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection.

Two separate complaints in 2023 and 2020 regarding illegal conversions and unpermitted work were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," suggesting that officials were unable to conduct a proper inspection. While many of these issues have been resolved or closed without violations being found, the pattern of complaints, particularly regarding pest issues and historical lead paint concerns, may warrant attention to the building's ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance. This report covers data available up to October 2023, and the most recent events are from May 2024.
